“While we’ve come a long way over the past decade in advancing gender equality, we all agree there is more to do in our families, institutions and our society for everyone to see and take the opportunities to reach their full potential. All leaders committed to equality should be both buoyed by the progress and remain diligent in our efforts to design in equality from the outset, not bolt it on; to challenge outdated societal gender norms; shift the systems that perpetuate inequality and foster the truly inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive.
